The story chronicles the events around the June 28th 1969 police raid on The Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village section. The resulting riots resulted in a massive push for the gay rights movement around the world.
"War Horse" actor Jeremy Irvine will play a young man named Danny whose political awakening forms our conduit into these groundbreaking events.
Jones would play Orphan Annie, a gay street hustler who forms a bond with Irvine and ends up participating in the movement.
Roland Emmerich will call action here using a script written by Jon Robin Baitz.
The film will be produced by Emmerich Michael Fossat and Marc Frydman.
Production begins later this year. Emmerich will film Stonewall before starting work on the long gestating Independence Day sequels.
